A few: There has never been a report of leishmaniasis (a protozoan parasite) in Australia, the Pacific islands, or Antarctica. It has been identified in every other part of the world. Although rare, leishmaniasis has been diagnosed in the US, mostly in people who had traveled internationally.

Leishmaniasis: I think it would be safe to say you won't find it at either pole of the globe. It is found in the tropics & subtropics (Africa, Central & South America, Asia, & Mediterranean area)
